A recent Newsweek article reported, “Parents today spend 10 hours a week less with their children than in 1960. This is a product of absent fathers – which is disastrous, especially to boys, who differ in aggressive temperament from girls. Boys are harder to socialize. In modern society, aggressiveness is no longer an adaptive trait. Civilization is the attempt to turn male aggressiveness into appropriate channels. We’re losing.”
“America's unending cultural war once concerned slavery, temperance, and religion. Today it turns on illegitimacy, crime and entertainment. These will be the central subjects of political argument for the foreseeable future. Wouldn’t it be great to see the candidates talk about this?”
